Hello friends! Oh, I have been dreading writing this blog tonight. But it has to be done. The good news is that the baby shower was a success! Bad news is....I fell off my plan. Not real bad, though. I guess it goes to show I am human! I had a stressful morning trying to get things prepared, and I did not have any breakfast or a mid-morning snack (big mistake). By the time I got to my mom's house at noon, I was terribly hungry. The shower started at 1:00 pm, and I thought I was going to faint because of hunger, but I was on auto-pilot because I was hosting this party and just kept going. By 2:30, I caved in and ate. Everything was so delicious! I did not eat a whole bunch, but more than I am used to. I did, however, indulge in a lot of salad and fruit. So I guess that is good! I will list what I ate on the meal plan at the end.
It is not the end of the world. I started back up again this morning. Only problem is, I felt terrible and my stomach was all messed up due to the rich food. Was it worth it? Yes and no. I think it is ok to enjoy once in a while. I just didn't want to enjoy it so soon. But that's ok. I just don't like the way I feel after eating something that's not on my plan. My mom made these wonderful Vietnamese Egg Rolls. Oh WOW....are they good. I did have two of those, and they were quite small. All day today, I drank tons of water and tea and ate fruits and veggies. I am finally feeling good again.
I took lots of pictures, and my brother took a picture of my mom and I, which I wanted to post on here. But I have been in a panic all day because I cannot find my camera anywhere. I know I put it back in my car, but it is nowhere to be found. :( When and if I find it, I will post pictures of the shower on here.
The shower was wonderful and my sister-in-law got lots of really nice things for the twins. And LOTS of diapers, which I know she will be grateful for. I remember back when I had my son, I got lots of diapers at one of my showers, and I did not have to buy diapers for the first six months. It was wonderful! I am so excited for these babies. It has been a long time since there have been any babies in the family, and I am just delighted. Aunt Becky will spoil them and love them! :) How exciting!
Today was a relaxing day. I did not do much due to not feeling so well, but it was nice to just relax with my family.
Well, I am going to read for a bit, then go to bed. I am glad I am done blogging about my eating blunders from yesterday! But it will all be OK. Oh yeah.
